The course methodology will based strictly on continuous and joint assessment of the subject:
1) Students will undertake comprehensive readings of seminal texts on topics related to the subject as preparation for participation in formal discussion sessions. These texts will be made available to students via the virtual campus one week before the joint discussion class.
2) The teacher will provide theoretical explanations about key points of the subject syllabus.
3) Under the teacher's supervision, the students will choose one topic from the syllabus and give a group oral presentation about it.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Oral presentation in group | 40% | 6 | 0.24 | 4, 12, 10, 9, 19, 6, 5, 13, 14, 1, 7, 17, 18, 3 |
Text comment1 | 20% | 2 | 0.08 | 4, 8, 2, 11, 10, 9, 19, 6, 5, 14, 1, 7, 16, 15, 17, 18, 3 |
Text comment2 | 40% | 7 | 0.28 | 4, 8, 2, 11, 12, 19, 6, 5, 13, 14, 7, 16, 15, 17, 18, 3 |
The evaluation process includes three activities distributed throughout the course: text commentary 1 (20%), text commentary 2 (40%), group oral presentation (40%).
The single evaluation will be a written exam consisting of three parts:
Short answer questions based on the first part of the course (40%)
Short answer questions based on the second part of the course (40%)
Text commentary (20%)
It is possible that the Philosophy Department will establish (as was done during the first semester) a concentrated period for evaluative exams. The teaching staff will indicate if this period exists or what the exam dates are at the start of each course.
Retake:
· Synthesis exam for both continuous and single evaluation.
Students will receive a “Not assessable” grade if they have not submitted more than one-third of the evaluation activities.
OBSERVATIONS
· Erasmus students who request to take an exam early must present the professor with a written document from their home university justifying their request.
· If a student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant change in the grade of an evaluation activity, that activity will be graded as 0, regardless of any disciplinary process that may be initiated. If multiple irregularities occur in evaluation activities for the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0.
· In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed in any phase. Any work that includes AI-generated fragments will be considered academic dishonesty and will result in the activity being graded 0 without the possibility of recovery, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
